Tannoy or Volti

Are the Tannoy at upscale the ones from China?

Thanks for the suggestions…

I disagree that Volti is merely a lateral move- I believe that they are sonically superior to Klipsch and less colored as I have demoed both at several audio shows.  Volti designs their speakers to compete/beat Klipsch offerings.  I own the Volti Rival.

Volti vs Tannoy is primarily a subjective preference - best to demo yourself as we cannot tell you what you’d prefer.  

@kennyc I see on the Volti web site Greg has a sorta good deal on a used Lucera, what would you say how that compares to the Forte lV 

Thanks 

@ditusa 

what have you compared the JBLs too?…listening to side by side?…and amps are you using …

Probably. But I have some China-made Kensington GR drivers that actually sound better than an earlier UK-made set of the same. Couldn’t tell them apart visually, except for stickers. Quailty doesn’t necessarily suffer from the origin. I used to be against the China-made Tannoys, but this opened my eyes. Cabinets are still made in Poland, same as they always were (excellent quality). Final assembly - who really cares; a trained child could do it. 

Either way, 50% off full MSRP for a used set isn’t a very friend-ly price. Far from it.
